The patient was a victim in a car crash and Payne wanted the blood sample to show he had done nothing wrong, according to the officer's written report.>

Weird story. Why would he be so worried about the reserve police officer/truck driver being accused of doing anything wrong?

they wanted the blood to prove he wasn't drunk

That may have been what the cop that arrested the nurse wrote in his report, but it smells like bullshit to me. The cops were fishing for anything that would shield them from a lawsuit from the Idaho cop/truck driver when he or his family sues them for a wrongful car chase. If he had anything in his blood -- ADHD meds, Benadryl, etc., it could nullify a personal injury case. I've sat on four juries and in two of them, cops deliberately put misleading shit in their incident reports.

And yes, I hung those juries. ;-) Innocent until PROVEN guilty.

This blooddraw/nurse arrest definitely smells, but it's quite a stretch in my opinion that it is Pizzagate related bullshit. Just typical everyday bullshit. ;-) Not trying to stop y'all from investigating; just pointing out there is a rational explanation. I'd be investigating the cop that arrested the nurse, 'cause he sure as hell overreacted.

That's fine. Was it pg related, I hv no idea. But it was hard push to get blood evidence of someone that was obviously not at fault
